Step-by-Step Instructions for Shrimp Ceviche

  • Begin by chopping the shrimp into bite-sized pieces and placing them in a 9x13 inch pan. Pour the lime juice over the shrimp until they are fully submerged, then cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap. Let the shrimp marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, then transfer the pan to the refrigerator for an additional 1-2 hours until the shrimp are opaque and tender.
  • While the shrimp is marinating, take this time to chop the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro. Place the chopped vegetables in a bowl and store them in the refrigerator.
  • Once the shrimp has marinated and is perfectly opaque, gently stir in all the prepared vegetables into the shrimp mixture. Use a large spoon to mix everything thoroughly, ensuring the flavors meld beautifully.
  • To serve your delightful Shrimp Ceviche, scoop a generous portion into a bowl or over tostada shells. If desired, add diced or mashed avocado on top for an extra creamy touch.

Notes

Serve your ceviche chilled to enhance freshness; pair with tortilla chips for the perfect scooping experience.
